Stix Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just wanted to let everybody know: if you are lactose intolerant there is a surprise waiting for you in Oz-land. You get lactose-free milk (not the lactose-reduced stuff you get in ZA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnetjie Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) In Woolworths, Coles, Franklins etc you can find rice, soy, almond, lactose free milk. Have you tried Delre ( brand) Caprakaas it is a lactose free cheese and is imported from Holland. You can buy it at any of the specialty cheeses shops and Harris Farmers ( sell vegetable’s). Are you able to use coconut milk ? We are also cow diary intolerant. We use sheeps milk yoghurt in limited amounts you can buy this at Harris Farmers.When I need to replace milk in a recipe I usually replace it with coconut milk or almond milk or pear juice or rice milk. You can also replace all butter with grapeseed oil when baking. Are you only lactose intolerant or also gluten (wheat, barley, oats, rye) intolerant?Gluten free flour is readily available in all supermarkets. Just look in the health food section for Orgran brand. www.orgran.com all their products are yeast, dairy and gluten free.You can get rice flour in the Asian section of the supermarket. If you need to buy any other flours like buckwheat flour, potato flour, corn flour, quinoa flour etc you can buy this in health food store.

sonnetjie Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hestie the following link might be helpful. The celiac/coeliac society http://www.coeliacsociety.com.au/ also does a magazine that contains great recipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Does anyone know about "wheat free" bread. I buy a fantastic bread in Westville that's made from linsoy. It tastes like fresh white bread and is brown in colour. I wonder how readily available that is in Aus. My child is wheat intolerant which makes it difficult as he won't eat rye or any other funny looking bread. I have also found pasta made by "Dinkel" in Germany and it's made from spelt. The varieties available in the supermarkets and Everfresh are not great and tend to become stoggy unless eaten immediately. When in Aus, my husband bought a few packets which weren't great. You certainly couldn't eat it cold or reheat it the next day. Does anyone have any suggestions?ThanksSharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi HestiePlease let me know how it turns out. I would prefer to be able to buy it ready made though. At the moment, I buy a months supply and defrost some every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnetjie Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have a Quantum Sunbeam breadmaker and we use the http://www.laucke.com.au/glutenfree.htm mix the one with the green sticker on. The orgran breadmix and this bread mix tastes like real bread. We bake it and then freezes it sliced up into zip lock bags. Even the non Gluten free guys enjoy it. Have you considered buy a breadmaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Maybe in Aus, my lifestyle will be a lot less hectic so I'll have time to make bread. I also have such a fussy child that I would end up buying the breadmaker and ingredients and he wouldn't like it. I'll try and find someone who has one and get them to make it for me before I buy one. Thanks for the advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
